| microbial etiology of acute pneumonia in hospitalized patients. | the purpose of this study was to determine the microbial etiology of pneumonia by using strict criteria among a group of hospitalized patients. patients with acute community-acquired or hospital-acquired pneumonia were studied in a systematic and comprehensive manner for bacterial, viral, chlamydial, mycobacterial, and fungal pathogens. a total of 198 patients with 204 episodes of pneumonia were evaluated. despite 100 percent follow-up of all surviving patients, a specific etiologic agent could ... | 1992 | 1555415 |
| a survey of infectious diseases in wild turkeys (meleagridis gallopavo silvestris) from arkansas. | wild turkeys (meleagridis gallopavo silvestris) trapped as part of a relocation program by the arkansas game and fish commission were tested for selected infectious diseases and parasites. the 45 birds were trapped at four locations in pope, scott, and montgomery counties (arkansas, usa). forty-four blood samples for serology, 27 blood smears and 12 fecal samples were collected. of the serum samples tested, 20 of 44 (45%) were positive for pasteurella multocida by enzyme-linked immunosorbent ass ... | 1990 | 2250323 |
| infectious disease survey of lesser prairie chickens in north texas. | lesser prairie chicken (tympanuchus pallidicinctus) abundance, like that of most grassland birds, has declined rangewide for decades. although habitat loss and degradation are likely ultimate causes for this decline, infectious agents, particularly microparasites, could be proximate contributors. no surveys of pathogenic bacteria or viruses have been published for this species. we surveyed 24 free-living lesser prairie chickens from hemphill county, texas (usa), for evidence of exposure to salmo ... | 2002 | 12528454 |
